Call of Duty: Vanguard takes the FPS series back to World War II on 5th November 2021 for PlayStation 5 and PS4, it's been confirmed. Following an in-game event inside Call of Duty: Warzone, the announcement trailer embedded above played for those participating. The game will include a campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies mode designed by Treyarch. Pre-ordering the game on the PS Store grants you access to an open beta, with prices for the standard PS5 version starting at £69.99/$69.99. The PS4 edition can be picked up for £59.99/$59.99.
A description of the campaign, which pans four theatres of war, is as follows: "Rise on every front: Dogfight over the Pacific, airdrop over France, defend Stalingrad with a sniper’s precision and blast through advancing forces in North Africa. The Call of Duty franchise returns with Call of Duty: Vanguard, where players will be immersed in visceral WWII combat on an unprecedented global scale." The package is then bolstered by the franchise's usual take on traditional multiplayer and a "chilling new" Zombies mode from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War developer Treyarch.
Vanguard will ship with 16 core 6v6 maps and a further four 2v2 maps for Champion Hill, for a total of 20 maps at launch — the most a Call of Duty game has ever had on day one. The game runs on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare engine, which has been upgraded for the new release.
"Call of Duty: Vanguard will also usher in a new and unparalleled Call of Duty: Warzone integration post launch, and feature cross-progression and cross-generation play, in addition to a massive calendar of free post-launch content that adds in new Multiplayer maps, modes, seasonal events, community celebrations and more."
In order to gain access to both the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game, you'll need to purchase the cross-gen bundle. An Ultimate Edition then bundles in a Task Force One pack, three Operator skins, three weapon blueprints with tracer rounds, access to the first Battle Pass with 20 tier skips, and 10 hours of double XP. Will you buy Call of Duty: Vanguard this November? Squad up in the comments below.

Maybe this year modern warfare can finally get a price cut 😅 i have been very patient
Good day to release it (here in the UK at least - bonfire night). All those annoying fireworks can be used to ones advantage and really add the the immersion. I usually watch a war movie (if I’m not out) or re-watch the incredible Band of Brothers series (for the hundredth time).
4 fronts is cool but yeah, it’s COD. It’s definitely COD.
Yep, Battlefield definitely won this year.
My trigger finger itches for Halo Infinite. Sorry CoD.
@blackndark the one with the SP campaign wins every time 👌
So is this thing a medal of honor game?
If it's 60 dollars shouldn't it be closer to £40 in the UK
Will I buy it, absolutely not
I love WW2. The stories, the political intricacies, the weapons, the locations...everything in it always fascinated me (except of course all the killing). But I doubt that they can make us excited for WW2 gameplay again, in particular cause the last WW2 COD had such a forgettable campaign.
Will probably buy this for my love of WW2 but I don't feel that great about the campaign. But hey, WW2 zombies=best zombies
I read a leak that there's supposed to a PlayStation exclusive alpha next Friday. Announced during a hypothetical State of Play like Cold War's alpha back in September 2020?
God, this is gonna be the tenth Cod game set in WWII. At least Cold War was set in a time period completely different from the other games.
Just traded in Cold War (surprisingly got $30 for it at GameStop). I might rent this CoD to do the campaign and zombies for a few days.
I’m gathering that only zombies is made by Trearch, but it’s written like Treyarch made the entire game.
@Jaz007 Yeah Treyarch did Zombies the rest is Sledgehammer.
When is COD going to pivot to being a turn-based RPG?
@Jackpaza0508 But most of those WW2 games were released ages ago. The last one was 4 years ago, and the last one before COD WW2 was 8 years before that. Right now WW2 is hardly more saturated than modern or futuristic settings.
Doesn't look bad. A good variety of fronts, lots of factions (with the inclusion of Australia and Britain), and the female character's inclusion actually makes sense. I'll keep my eye on this.
Will we have to have Warzone installed to play it?
It pisses me off when I’m running out of space & the one mode that wasn’t part of Modern Warfare is now a compulsory install & can’t be uninstalled if you want to play normal multiplayer or singleplayer.
Hell, even the Icon has changed to Warzone!
Hard pass if I have to install Warzone and can't delete it.
I'm only interested in the offline single player campaign, nothing else.
@AFCC except the killing? Huh
@Zombiechris well, you know what I meant lol it is not fun, I just love to read and see stuff about it
@AFCC oh I see ok lol
